Loring Gladstone Lemmon

Loring Lemmon passed away quietly in the home of his son, Zack Lemmon, in Sandy, Oregon on the morning of January 26, 2015.  Loring was born in Christiansburg, Montgomery County, VA.  A longtime resident of Radford, Virginia, he developed friendships in childhood that he carried throughout his life. Loring grew up loving nature and animals of all kinds, particularly dogs.  He was a kind man that showed great care towards all things that he was a steward over.  He was the epitome of a Southern gentleman, bred with good manners and charm.  Loring served in the U.S. Air Force and was a veteran of the Korean War.  He received his Bachelor’s degree from University of Texas and spent much of his career working for the Boy Scouts of America.

Loring was a faithful member of the LDS Church and served in many and varied callings during his life.  He and his family joined the church in 1969 and were later sealed as a family in the Washington D.C. LDS Temple.

Loring was a dedicated husband of more than 50 years.  He was a kind and loving father who loved his children and his family meant everything to him.  He was known as a man of integrity and principle.

Loring is survived by his two children, Zack Lemmon and Elizabeth L. Chandler; six grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, and his brother, Carson.  He was preceded in death by his wife, Elizabeth Reed Stoms; his mother, Mary Frances Gladstone Lemmon and his father, Carson Loring Lemmon.
